How do you defend your network using a blacklist when the data is constantly changing? Adversaries can easily obscure data with small changes and blacklisting is suddenly useless... until now. Fuzzy logic can identify near-matches for field values by calculating a string similarity score using algorithms like Levenshtein. Now your blacklist for entry for johnny123@badactor.ru could match similar values like john123@badactor.ru or johnny000@badactor.ru. Join us to take a deep dive into the app that makes this possible on a larger scale, Fuzzylookup.
